Social life and customsFiction

This new collection contains not only the contents of the original Brown Man's Burden (1938) but stories of Maori life taken from Sweet Beulah Land (1942) and Tidal Creek (1948). Several stories written subsequently bring the time-span of aspects of Maori life from the twenties up to the early seventies. The introduction gives an account of Roderick Finlayson's life and an appreciation of his work.
